UAV’s and Drones
Historically hot-wire cut, the new moulded expanded polypropylene (EPP) UAV drone chassis created a lighter and stronger model with a more robust skin whilst energy absorption properties providing a level of impact protections. The smooth moulded finish of EPP provided a more aerodynamic shape than the previous hot-wire cut design whilst reducing manufacturing and assembly times from 28 hours to 4 minutes.

The Breakdown
Weight Saving Materials for Drones and UAVs
Weight saving is vital to developing a high-performance drone or fixed wing UAV. EPP is extremely light and strong and when moulded provides a smoother, finished aerodynamic shape.
